Khloe Kardashian has reportedly told how she can’t believe that companies do not cater to size 16 and upwards, despite supposedly being a size four herself.

The 34-year-old, who co-founded brand Good American, told how she was left “mind-blown” over the lack of diversity in clothing sizes.

According to the Mail, she said: “It blows my mind to think that the average woman in America is a size 16 [UK size 18] and that no one is catering to her.

“There are billion-dollar brands that still don't perfect their performance-wear.”

Discussing her decision to make all sizes available, Kardashian said: “I’ve always been compared to my sisters, who I will never look like, so it was really personal to me to create a clothes range that caters to all sizes.

“They test on machines instead of people. Whereas Emma gets women into the design studio to do squats or bend over, and then asks the other women to see if they are revealing anything - we can get down and dirty over there.”

The mother-of-one has said that her brand stocks US size 0 through to 24.

Kardashian was accused of “damaging an entire generation of young people” after she applauded Kim Kardashian’s slimmer appearance.

Kim posted several Instagram stories of her sisters heaping praise on her new look, with Khloe saying: “Your extensions, your a***, your t***, everything they’re heavy because she’s f****** voluptuous but she’s anorexic here [her waist] and her arms are like pin thin like my pinky. Kimberley I can see through you. I’ve never seen a skinnier person in my life.”
